I have done it!

I have completed it and I am so proud of myself! I wanted to get fit because I am turning 40 in October this year and I feel so much better for doing this. I have got so much more energy and feel so alive! Never posted on here before but read daily and it has definitely kept me going. The changing point for me was when I started running along the beach, love,love, love it. I have always started my fitbit app when I have left my house so I am now going to start it when I begin my running. Today I achieved 5.73km in 40 minutes (which includes my 5 minute warm up and cool down walk). There was a point on the beach that I wanted to get to and today I have so really pleased. Keep going everyone it is a fantastic feeling to say I can run for 30 minutes x

Really and truly well done! I started this not long after my 40th and it really does feel like a new chapter. Only a week and a half behind you! I am already checking out Parkruns in the area which could be a brilliant celebration for you too xxx
